Installs Bleaching Outfit 



The Ulrdwye Vcceer Company of ICscanaba, Mlcb., recently purcbasid 

 the excluslre rlitbts, part of wbleb were afterwards reconslgned, to tlie 

 use of tbc patent and equipment for bleacblUK veneers and lumber, mnnu- 

 factnred by tbe Kranck I'blllpson Company, Cbicago. 



Wb>?n the eijulpment l8 completely Installed there will be but one other 

 plant In tbe country with tbe same process to be used on birdseyc veneer. 

 It Is anticipated tbe process will add Immeasurably to tbe life ond value 

 of this product, tbc particular value being tbc elimination of the tendency 

 wblcb Is so well known in rnnnectlon with birdseye maple, to yellow with 

 nge. It Is sniii that with this process a guarantee aealnst this develop- 

 ment can lie a.xHured.

 stance where tlie truck is used by the Bliss & Van Auken Lumber Com- 

 pany of Saginaw, Mich., in wblcb It bas actually showed a very sub- 

 stantial saving in delivery cost over horse-baulcd trucks formerly used.

present represented about 2.50 shares of the outstanding stock of 36!i 



.\ detailed report covering an audit of tbe accounts made by a certified 

 public accountant was carefully reviewed, and It was moved that a sum- 

 mary of the same be sent to all of the stockholders. It develops that tbe 

 company bas about $7,000 in its treasury, being the balance left after all 

 expenses are paid from the receipts. Including stock sales, exposition space, 

 gate receipts, etc. it was thought best to submit to the stockholders for 

 their personal expressions the question of whether or not this money 

 should be refunded, pro rata, or be retained In tbe treasury of the com- 

 pany for the purpose of promoting another exposition. Pending this 

 decision Secretary Rhodes was Instructed to Invest at least $6,000 of the 

 fund in high-grade convertible bonds. 



Manager Geo. S. Wood of tbe exposition submitted a report covering the 

 general feature of bis work, together with communications received from a 

 majority of exhibitors expressing satisfaction with their participation in
